Hot Patch Trailers

The State of Maine is requesting bids for hot patch trailers for hot mix asphalt patching operations, with proposals due November 3, 2008. The trailer must be diesel-fired, self-contained, and capable of integrated heating, mixing, and application of asphalt material.

The scope requires a diesel-powered burner system to heat asphalt to application temperatures, a mixing auger system for material agitation, and a hydraulic-powered application system. The trailer must maintain material temperature consistency and comply with Maine Department of Transportation standards and state and federal environmental regulations regarding emissions and fuel storage. Required safety features include shut-off systems, temperature monitoring equipment, and proper ventilation. The equipment must meet durability and operator safety standards and perform reliably in Maine's seasonal climate conditions. The specification document details material hopper capacity, mixing mechanisms, and spray application equipment requirements.
